Patriot missile defense system in Ukraine likely damaged by Russian hit, say US sources

Firstpost  

Two US officials said on Tuesday that a Russian hit likely damaged a US-made Patriot missile defence system used by Ukraine, but that it did not appear to have been destroyed. The Patriot system is one of a slew of powerful air defence systems delivered by the West to assist Ukraine in repelling a Russian air attack campaign that has targeted important infrastructure, power plants, and other locations. The Patriot is considered to be one of the most advanced US air defence systems, including against aircraft, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Russia’s defence ministry said on Tuesday that it had destroyed a US-built Patriot surface-to-air missile defence system with a “hypersonic” Kinzhal missile in an overnight strike on Ukraine.
